About Mount Dennis
Where to stay in Mount Dennis
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Industry drew the map here. A room in Mount Dennis places a traveller along Eglinton Avenue, in the corridor the Humber River and the Kitchener commuter rail line hold between them, rather than anywhere near the centre of Toronto. The rail line matters most.
Anyone using it can reach the wider city without a car, which is the practical argument for a bed in this part of the former township of York.
About Mount Dennis
What are the main landmarks in Mount Dennis?
Kodak Heights is the name that carries. The Eastman Kodak Company ran a major film manufacturing plant on that site, and the works are what the record fixes on when it describes Mount Dennis, ahead of any church, park, or civic building. Beyond it, the register is empty.
The Humber River and the Kitchener commuter rail line supply the other fixed points, one natural and one built, that a walker can actually navigate by.
What is the history of Mount Dennis?
York township came first. Mount Dennis began as an urban pocket inside that former township, and its later identity was set by Kodak Heights, the film manufacturing works the Eastman Kodak Company owned and operated on Eglinton Avenue. Film built the reputation.
That manufacturing chapter belongs to the past, and what the record leaves is a Toronto neighbourhood known for those works, bounded by the Humber River, and tied to the Kitchener commuter rail line.
Where is Mount Dennis?
Mount Dennis stretches along Eglinton Avenue between the Humber River and the Kitchener commuter rail line, in temperate Toronto.
